Don Tenne, of Glens Falls, was named MetLife’s 2011 Financial Planner of the Year. The recognition is awarded annually to the top-rated financial planner nationally.

Tenne is a 29-year veteran of the company and currently serves as a financial services representative and financial planner. In his role, he provides insurance, investments, financial planning and investment advisory services to individuals and businesses in the greater Glens Falls, Saratoga and Albany area.

“I am honored to be singled out for this recognition,” said Tenne. “I’m even prouder of the fact that the way I practice is worthy of recognition. I focus on goal achievement and meet with my clients every quarter in order to keep them on track no matter what happens economically, politically or in their lives.”

Approximately 500 financial planners from MetLife Securities are eligible for the award, but to be considered they need to qualify for the company’s President or Masters Conference, which recognizes excellence in sales, as well as meet a minimum plan production. The winner is selected based on a point system that measures the number and complexity of the plans, advice given and total planning fees.
